Phil Jones · amplifier
The Phil Jones Bass BG-110 Bass Cub II is a 110-watt bass combo fitted with two of the company's five-inch drivers in what PJB describe as a shoebox-sized package. It sits below the Bass Cub Pro in the range, offering slightly less power in the same compact form. The brand's design approach of several small drivers rather than one large one gives faster transient response and clearer midrange than conventional bass cabinets, making it well suited to upright, fretless and acoustic instruments as well as electric bass. It suits bassists who need genuine amplification in a package small enough for public transport, rehearsal rooms and small venues.
